I am so relieved. The only thing she asked to change is her address!!!!
She spent the whole day with us yesterday. Went to pick her up at the soberhouse, saw some old friends....good feeling.
She went to the lawyer with me, we had some lunch, then fiance made dinner and I took her home. difficult child was happy she was with the baby all day.
We will have baby J for the next 24 months and difficult child has to test negative on all her drug tests in order to ask for custody to be returned to her, she must also have a job and be capable of supporting baby.
At this time I am hopeful, and now know that baby J is safe with us till difficult child gets her act together.
Thank You for the prayers, they worked!!!
Nothing like the "Board" family praying for ya!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/11-24f.gif
Thank You and I'll be here more for you all.

What a great holiday gift. You must be so relieved. I'm so happy for all of you. Hopefully difficult child will now be able to concentrate fully on her recovery knowing that her child is being taken care of and that all she needs to worry about is herself.

What a immense relief this must be, to have her not drag this through court and fight the inevitable, to give you security that doting on the baby isn't leading to this precious child being suddenly yanked from this loving stable home you are providing.
Merry Merry Merry Christmas to one heck of a warrior mom and an even fiercer warrior grandmother!!

Yeah!! I am so happy for you!!!
Though I have been absent in "body" I have not been absent in heart!!
WE have had a rough few months!!
sorry I have not been there for you through this

WONDERFUL news!!!! How relieved you must feel! Sounds like today was really good for you all around. Maybe your daughter will now have the incentive to do what she needs to do. Hope you continue to be blessed over the holidays!

Melissa, this is GREAT news! And just in time for Christmas! I can only imagine how relieved you must feel!

And I'm happy for your daughter too that she is cooperating and appears to be on the right road. I know you've heard this before, but maybe this is what it will take to finally get her to turn her life around. Getting her child back should be very strong motivation! Maybe some day she'll be able to look back at this time in her life as just a bumpy part of the road.
